Austin, TX – It was 25-years ago – in 1988 – that US EPA regulation 40-CFR-280 came into force. It was a landmark environmental regulation, which established the first federal requirements for protection of virtually all underground storage tank fueling facilities such as gas stations. That set of regulations, crafted and implemented during the Reagan Administration, forever changed the fuel dispensing industry in the US. The rules established minimum federal requirements for tank tightness verification and ongoing monitoring, spill and overfill protection, corrosion protection and monitoring, and demonstration of financial responsibilities. Then the states and municipalities got involved, some of which established higher standards than the federal minimums. In response to the new rules, an industry focused on the testing, verification, installation and service of UST environmental compliance systems was born. Large operators of gas stations across the country, primarily major oil companies, needed help navigating the varying state and local requirements and ensuring that their facilities were in compliance. Enter Tanknology. From that very first year when the regulations were implemented, Tanknology positioned itself as the full-service provider of environmental compliance solutions for UST operators. In 2013, a quarter-century later, the company celebrates its 25th anniversary as the dominant nationwide player in that industry. “From the very beginning, the vision for Tanknology was to create a single company with the capability of managing all environmental compliance issues for UST fueling facilities,” said Allen Porter, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tanknology. “There were tank testers, leak detection providers, corrosion protection companies – lots of small companies all across the country, who were providing one or two of the required services,” Porter said. “But larger operators, with facilities in many states, needed a single provider to put it all together in a comprehensive program, with proven, state-of-the-art technologies that ensured they were in compliance with the myriad regulations governing their sites.” That’s what Tanknology set out to do 25 years ago – and the company today stands alone in its position as the only nationwide provider of comprehensive UST compliance services. Internationally, Tanknology is the largest provider of such services in the world, teaming with more than 20 international licensee partners, serving the largest oil companies in the world. Porter attributes the company’s long term success to several key factors. First-and-foremost are the people. “We have the most qualified and experienced professionals in the business on our team – from the inventors of our proprietary technologies, to our regional operations specialists, to our highly trained and experienced team of field technicians,” Porter said. “What makes Tanknology an enduring partner with thousands of customers over these 25 years really is this unparalleled team of people.” Another key factor to the company’s success, according to Porter, has been its ability to adapt and respond to the changing regulatory environment with innovative new services. “This compliance industry has changed substantially since it was created 25 years ago,” Porter said. “As regulations were further implemented at state and local levels and then expanded in the succeeding years, we invested millions of dollars in new technologies and services. We knew that the key to staying on top in this industry was to continue to provide all the compliance services needed by our customers.” In the succeeding years, Tanknology developed and launched services for pipe testing, cathodic protection monitoring, remote visual internal tank inspections, spill bucket testing, tank deflection testing, fuel filtration, ethanol preparation, Stage I and II vapor recovery, Aboveground Tank inspections and testing, Class B and C operator training, and many more – all the way up to comprehensive Compliance Management Services, in which Tanknology manages every aspect of a customer’s compliance program. Based in Austin, Texas, Tanknology operates across America and around the world, providing UST environmental compliance testing and related services at more than 50,000 sites per year, for more than 3,000 customers. Internationally, Tanknology licensees span more than 25 countries, providing services to the largest petroleum operators in the world. For more information visit www.Tanknology.com.

Austin, TX – As conditions permit, owners and operators of gas stations and other fueling facilities on the Eastern Seaboard are assessing the impact to their sites from Superstorm Sandy. What exactly they need to do to get their facility back into operation will vary widely, depending upon the type and severity of damage they sustained. One thing is certain: Given fuel shortages and the pressing need to clean up and get back into business, it can’t happen fast enough. “We are beginning to hear from customers in the Northeast who are evaluating how to get their sites operational,” said Allen Porter, President and CEO of Tanknology Inc., the world’s largest Underground Storage Tank environmental services company. “Fortunately, in a lot of cases, visual inspections and a manual tightness test with their automatic tank gauge is all that is necessary. But there are also plenty of situations where considerably more assessment and repair is necessary.” Tanknology has set up a web page devoted to helping operators determine what they need to do based upon the type of impact on their site. The situations addressed on this informational page range from merely loss of power to minimal flooding to running out of fuel and all the way up to cases of severe flooding. Also included are links to various state and federal agencies which can provide resources or additional support. “A few years ago, we provided assistance to the EPA in their creation of a publication addressing this very issue,” Porter said. Titled Underground Storage Tank Flood Guide, it’s an excellent resource for operators facing damage from a storm like Sandy.” Porter said the guide is available for download on Tanknology’s website. “For some operators, the recovery process is just beginning and will take weeks or months to work through,” Porter said. “But for many more, given the fuel shortages and high demand of the recovery and rebuilding period, there are only a few steps required to get back in operation – and that obviously can’t happen soon enough.” Porter noted that the company has considerable experience in major storm recovery over its near-25-year history. “We have offices throughout the country, and have helped our customers recover from many large storms over the years,” Porter said. “We are now gearing up to help many of them through aftermath of Sandy.” For more detailed information about major storm recovery for a UST facility, visit Tanknology’s web page devoted to the topic at www.tanknology.com/StormRecovery.

Austin, TX – Tanknology Inc., the world’s largest Underground Storage Tank (UST) environmental compliance services company, and Simmons Corp. a worldwide supplier of fuel inventory and tank compliance monitoring systems, announced today that the two companies have entered into a partnership agreement in which Tanknology will install Simmons’ Tank Manager for Windows UST Automatic Tank Gauge systems throughout the United States. Under this new program, Tanknology will provide certified installation service for Simmons’ ATG customers throughout the U.S., in order to support the increasing demand for the ATG. Allen Porter, the President and CEO of Tanknology, foresees positive market reception for the Simmons ATG system now that it will be available for installation and service in all areas of the country. “The Simmons system offers excellent value for a UST site operator. As it is a PC-based system, requiring no separate controller box, it is substantially less expensive than the market-leading ATG options. This makes it an attractive value proposition for some segments of the UST marketplace. We are pleased to be partnering with Simmons to provide their customers with installation service through our nationwide network of UST service technicians.” Myra Canterbury, President of Simmons, added, “We are very excited about this partnership with Tanknology, as it will allow us to provide our cost-effective ATG solutions to customers in all areas of the country.

The system’s highly dependable ultrasonic probes are installed in thousands of tanks in the US and Europe. The system, which comes in two different size configurations, is PC-based, and runs on a standard Windows-based computer. This allows it to run on a computer which typically is already in use at the facility. According to Porter, at a typical fueling facility, a Tanknology installation crew will generally complete a new Simmons ATG system installation in a single day.
